AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Nodular Disease; Paralysis 
1. What ails my sheep? They have a 
very bad cough and get thinner and 
weaker and then they die. There is a 
discharge from the nose sometimes, and 
at other times very little. I opened one 
of the carcasses and there was . what 
looked to me like grubs or some kind of 
a growth in the large intestines. They 
were about the size of beans, and I cut 
some of them open,--and they looked as if 
they were full of a substance like coarse 
buckwheat flour. They were fastened to 
the lining of the intestines. The younger 
sheep, yearlings and lambs, seem to suffer 
the worst. I have lost a number of them 
and have several that are sick now. 2. I 
have a young horse five years old that 
was taken sick on the road; friends said 
it was from lack of exercise and too high 
feed, as he had not been working for three 
or four days and was in good condition. 
He seems to be all right now. blit he laid 
for six days on the barn floor before the 
doctor would let me raise him up. and he 
jammed his head and jaws quite badly, 
and now one side of bis mouth seems to 
be swollen, and liis under lip bangs down, 
and he does not seem to be able to use it 
at all when he is eating. It looks bad and 
spoils the looks of the horse. Could you 
tell me what is the matter? It has been 
that way now for a couple of months. 
The sores on his head and jaws are all 
healed up and he seems to feel good; he 
runs and plays in the yard when I let 
him out to exercise. He eats well. 
New York. m. j. g. 
1. Your sheep have nodular disease of 
the intestines (knotty guts), caused by 
the parasite known as esophagastoma co- 
lumbianum. The nodules contains one 
form of the worm, and at the same time 
some adult worms may be found free in 
the intestines. There is no remedy, but 
nodular disease rarely, if ever, proves 
fatal. Thousands of fat sheep are found 
so affected at time of slaughter. A com¬ 
bination of nodular disease, gadfly grubs 
in the head, liver disease and constipa¬ 
tion is common among under-exercised 
sheep at this time of the year, especially 
ewes in lamb, and proves fatal. Pro¬ 
longed, excessive feeding of coarse, dry 
roughage, in the absence of succulent and 
laxative feed, is the chief cause of loss. 
Make the sheep exercise freely every day 
and keep their bowels active. 2. Injury 
has caused paralysis of the facial nerve, 
but recovery may gradually occur. A 
blister applied to the jaw and face might 
help. Consult your veterinarian about it. 
Sick Sheep 
I have a sheep six years old. For about 
two weeks it has refused to eat. It stands 
around alone, seeking some corner, with 
its head hanging down. I have sulphured 
it and used turpentine on its nose. I 
thought it had the grub. Please advise 
me what to do. G. G. M. 
New York. 
Give the sheep four ounces of glauber 
salts dissolved in warm water well sweet¬ 
ened with molasses. Then feed roots or 
silage, bran and oilmeal. to keep the bow¬ 
els relaxed, and have the sheep take active 
exercise every day. We suspect that it is 
constipated and that disease or derange¬ 
ment of the liver has been caused by pro¬ 
longed feeding of coarse, dry. bulky rough¬ 
age, without succulent feed, or sufficient 
exercise. Gadfly grubs often are present 
and there is no perfect remedy. Some 
benefit may follow syringing the nostrils 
to rid them of catarrhal discharge, after 
which inject a little sweet oil or liquid 
vaseline. A little kerosene and oil poured 
into each nostril in turn also proves help¬ 
ful in some cases.

Indigestion 
I have a horse six or seven years old, 
weighs about 1,400 pounds, in very poor 
condition. His hair is very long, intes¬ 
tines seem to rumble a great deal, and 
his legs stock badly, especially the left 
hind leg. which swells clear to the body. 
I started feeding two quarts dairy feed 
and now have changed to oats, but re¬ 
sults are same. The horse needs more 
grain, but ought I to give it to him? lie 
has light exercise every day or so. Some 
say feed saltpeter, others blue vitriol. 
Would you advise either? Cau I prevent 
the swelling without vigorous exercise 
every day, and does grain aggravate it? 
New York. a. n. b. 
No horse should stand for a single day 
without work or exercise. Allow the 
horse a roomy box stall when indoors or 
turn him loose in a shed if he cannot 
run outdoors. Have his teeth put in 
order by a veterinarian. Feed ear corn 
at night and whole oats and one-sixth 
of wheat bran twice daily in addition to 
good mixed clover and Timothy hay and 
carrots. Hand rub the swollen leg and 
then bandage it with flannel from foot 
to hock joint each time he comes in. He 
has had several attacks of lymphangitis 
and may have a permanently enlarged leg 
if other attacks come on. We assume 
that you know him to he free from farcy. 
Strong 
and 
Handsome 
Craine Triple Wall Silos are the 
strongest silos made and eliminate 
the necessity of ugly, bothersome 
loose hoops and lugs. 
They harmonize with the finest farm 
buildings, because of their smooth, hand¬ 
some appearance, effected by the famous, 
patented, continuous Crainlox covering, 
which forms the 3rd and outside wall. 
Inside is an inner wall of closely fitted 
staves, in between is a wall of special, 
thick weather-proof felt. 
This 3-wall construction keeps warmth in 
and cold out; it is a real air-tight frost- 
repelling and ' strongly supported silo. 
Once erected, it stays put without tinker¬ 
ing. 
Thousands of farmers are rebuilding old 
twitted, tipped and collapsed stave silos 
into beautiful 3-wall Craine Silos at about 
I -2 the cost of a new one. Gel our plan 
for rebuilding old silos.
